SURRENDERING CASTLE OWNERSHIP (ATLAS)

Teams can now surrender ownership of castles to a team in their alliance.

* Any given castle can only surrendered once every 7 days.* Cannot surrender a castle while any hostile Primarchs are present.* Surrendering a castle will still trigger the castle's shield cooldown period (24 hours).* Surrendering a castle will still trigger the 10% Victory Point loss for that castle during the Atlas Season.* 10% of the total building levels (rounded to the nearest non-0 integer) is deducted from the Infrastructure set before it is put into the Storage of the surrendering team.* 75% of the Castle Guards are converted back into Team Glory for the original owning team. The remaining 25% are lost.* The team receiving the surrendered castle is still subject to total castle ownership caps–no more than 20 level 2 castles, 20 level 3 castles, and 50 castles total.* The Upkeep timer will not change from before the castle was surrendered.* All role-holders like Governor, Marshal, etc. will be unassigned.* **All RSS will be lost–transfer everything beforehand!**

ATLAS BALANCE CHANGES

* Team Influence is no longer considered for Glory scaling in No Man's Lands. Only the Level scaling component will be used.* Glory scaling rules on enemy castles adjusted.

* If you're attacking or defending on a team-owned or allied castle, your Glory earned is 100% of the possible value. * If you're attacking on an enemy's castle, the Influence rating of the player whose Primarch you are attacking will be used for Glory scaling unless it is less than the Influence rating of the team that owns the castle, in which case the Influence rating of the team that owns the castle will be used.

This prevents the situation of attackers earning less Glory because they attacked a Primarch belonging to one of the weaker teams in an Alliance at a castle belonging to one of that Alliance's stronger teams.

* Castle Guards & Team Glory rebalanced. * Castles Guards are capped by Castle Level * 1 million. * 10% of the Castle Guard cap can be hired daily for each castle i.e. a Level 2 castle can hire 200,000 Castle Guards each day. * Team Glory will be awarded at a rate of 0.7 per 1 Individual Glory earned.

The hiring of Castle Guards defending a castle has greatly outpaced the rate at which players could muster armies to clear them out, making castle conquest far too difficult. These changes should make conquest much more viable and distribute defenses more evenly.

* Fixed a tutorial issue where the player would be unable to progress if Draco was chosen as the attacking dragon while on cooldown.* Fixed an issue with Draco and Frigg being able to breed subsequent dragons with themselves.* Fixed an issue where Breeding Token missions would offer missions that were not possible with the player's current available dragons.* [Atlas] Added further fixes to prevent Breeding Token missions that require dragons on Rider Missions from generating.* [Atlas] Fixed an issue where Lockdown was not active, allowing the attack of Poachers from a contested castle.* [Atlas] Fixed an issue where certain required Primarch actions would cause players to become stuck in the tutorial.

The bonus should now correctly be applied to the base combat stats first, and then add the Fort combat bonus as a flat amount.ex: Level 15 Bronze ☆☆ Sieger with +25% Seasons buff and a level 5 Fort providing +100 Combat Power would be calculated as follows: (360 * 1.25) + 100 = 550 ATK
